Masdevallia arangoi

Masdevallia arangoi is a Colombian epiphyte described by Luer and Escobar in 1979 from the Serranía de Urama near Dabeiba, in the Cordillera Occidental of Antioquia, at 1,800 to 1,950 m. That is a very wet, Chocó-influenced cloud forest, so the plant wants an intermediate regime with constant moisture and high humidity. The hot lowland figures in the measured climate come from a placeholder site and should be ignored.

Where it grows wild

Type collections record it as an epiphytic herb in the mossy cloud forest of the Serranía de Urama at Alto de El Aguila, on the Pacific-facing side of the Cordillera Occidental where rain and fog are near constant.

Specimens give 1,800 to 1,950 m.
